That should just be considered a bug I think. I think what stringof does is not detailed in the spec beyond "provides a string representation". Clearly just returning the base name of the template is not the most useful representation of a template type. Stringof clearly needs to have more thought put into it (as has been brought up many times in the past). --bb
